  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • The day before place the pork, rind-side down on a chopping board. Cut into the thickest part of the pork along the long side, three-quarters of the way through to form a flap. Evenly sprinkle over the fennel seeds, black pepper, chilli flakes, cloves, and sage leaves.
  • Roll pork up firmly from the long side and tie with kitchen string at 5cm intervals. Place on a small wire rack and leave uncovered in the fridge overnight.
  • Allow the pork to come up to room temperature. Rub pork skin with olive oil and salt flakes, massaging well into skin.
  • Preheat microwave to convection 220°C.
  • Roast pork for 60 minutes, until the crackling has formed. When the microwave beeps, Place the oven on 150°C and cook for a further 20 minutes.
  • When cooking is complete, remove from the microwave and allow to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
